NOTE: Always use push blocks, push sticks, and
featherboards when making non-through cuts
to avoid the risk of serious injury.
• When the cut is made, turn the saw OFF. Wait
for the blade to come to a complete stop be-
fore removing any part of the workpiece.
Once all non-through cuts are complete:
• Unplug the saw.
• Lower the blade and reinstall the blade
guard assembly using the two socket head cap
screws, lock washers, and flat washers.
WARNING: Before performing any adjust-
ment, make sure the tool is unplugged from
the power supply and the switch is in the OFF
position. Failure to heed this warning could re-
sult in serious personal injury.
To avoid unnecessary setups and adjustments,
a good practice is to check your setups care-
fully with a framing square and make practice
cuts in scrap wood before making finish cuts
in good workpieces. Do not start any adjust-
ments until you have checked with a square
and made test cuts to be sure adjustments are
needed.
To check the alignment of the rip fence to the
blade
WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury, al-
ways make sure the rip fence is parallel to the
blade before beginning any operation.
• Unplug the saw then remove the blade guard
assembly.
• Unlock the rip fence by depressing the trig-
ger lock and lifting the locking handle.
• Place a framing square beside the blade and
move the rip fence up to the square. Take the
dimension on the rip scale.
• Move the rip fence back and turn the framing
square 180° to check the other side.
• If the two dimensions are not the same, loos-
en the two screws on the fence and align it.
• Retighten the two screws.
• Make two or three test cuts on scrap wood. If
the cuts are not true, repeat the process.
NOTE: The rip fence must be secure when the
locking handle is engaged. The clamp screw on
the rear of the rip fence is tightened by turn-
ing clockwise to increase tightness of the rear
of the rip fence.
